Role Title: Christmas Wishlist Project Intern
Organisation: Parkerville Children and Youth Care
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Burswood, Midland and Armadale
This will be a project support role that will assist the L&D Manager in the development, delivery and roll out of our Christmas Wishlist project which is a yearly event here at Parkerville. We liaise with external donor organisations who get involved to support the delivery of Christmas gifts to the children in our care who currently do not have home to go to and are currently residents in our homes. The role requires regular engagement with the Our Way Home service delivery program coordinators and carers and (with support) liaising with donors and any internal project team members who wish to support. They will have the opportunity to meet many of our team members and find out more about the work we as an organisation do and how to provide communications (internet and emails) that provide updates and information around the project. This will culminate in a collection program where we meet with our donor organisation representatives so they can hand over the gifts that have been collected and then reallocated to the correct program site.
Parkerville Children and Youth Care advocate for and provide specialist care and services to those most vulnerable in the WA community, including children, young people and families who have experienced trauma from abuse.
